This needs to be here.

What a fucking joke. I'm not even attending the show, but giving people literally two days notice is really fucked up

That is unfortunate, though I suppose it's possible they were back and forth on the decision for a while

Which way do you think each member was leaning?

Man, if Bruce coughs, pearl jam catches a cold. They were always gonna cancel once he did.

I bet stone didn't care either way

You think you can convince Mrs. B to let you spend the refund on those Wrigley Cards?

Guys. Spenno just liked one of my tweets

This only happens to me when I tweet about The Cure or Kate Bush

I think it's the first time ever for me

It was some quality Tweeting, Skitch.

My sympathies for the fans impacted, but pearl jam did the right thing, inflicting pain on the bystander populations (and this is more significant as part of a larger establishment of NC as a pariah state than the impact of the act itself) is one of the most tried and true ways of changing laws like this.

It also sends an important preemptive measure to other states

I think Stip just justified carpet bombing in his relentless defense of Pearl Jam.

He tweets and doesn't follow me? Wtf.

I apologise for the omission.

They were expendable.

They knew they were doing this before today, Stip. I'm sure they decided to do it the moment Bruce did, but held out in hopes the law would not happen/get reversed/whatever. The deadline to announce this should have been Friday, not today.

you are likely correct

[given2trade]

Also, no chance 10C doesn't fuck up giving people their money back.

Everyone's money will be in envelopes at will call at the next show sorted by member #.

Oh, this money comes from my "Mr. B does what he wants" account.

It's what they would have wanted.

[lowlight79]

Now watch them announce tomorrow they'll do a show in Cuba and watch people's heads explode

They'll play backspacer and lightning bolt back to back
